The Curse of The Lost Dutchman's Mine
We are living in an age where modern science and technology has taken over the world.Ancient beliefs and modern superstitions are being refuted by scientifical logics and skepticism.However there are still a fair amount of phenomena which are yet to be rationalized.
Can you imagine the existence of a cursed mine in modern America?
Lets talk about the cursed gold mine situated in the “Superstition Mountains” (couldn’t have had a more obvious name) situated in Phoenix,Arizona,USA
The “Dutchman Gold Mine” got its name from the man who first discovered it.A German immigrant named Jakob Waltz discovered it in the 19th century and decided to keep its location a secret.At that time the German were commonly termed as “Dutchmen”
The Lost Dutchman’s Mine is perhaps the most famous lost mine in American history.
There are many stories and theories about the mine
Some claim that was not originally discovered by Jakob Waltz and it was first found by a powerful Mexican family in the early 1800s. For years, they extracted as much gold as they could while keeping it a secret until their final expedition ended with the death of nearly the entire family, killed by the Apache in the region.
The last person to allegedly have seen the mine was the German immigrant Jacob Waltz who found it in the late 1800s with his partner and hid part of the gold somewhere in the mountains. Until his death in 1891, he described the location of the mine to only one person — his neighbor, who looked after him in his final days.
Nevertheless, many have tried to find it unsuccessfully. In fact, the area and the treasure itself are nowadays considered to be cursed since many who tried to find the treasure in the past never came back.
